  • Urban design needs to respond to urban landscapes with historical contexts, while actively engaging with the place-making process, where the old and new components of a city merge to create new meanings for users. Unlocking the potential of heritage in its everyday context will enhance place identity, and spatial and historic connectivity of the urban landscape. The concept of everyday heritage can be understood as a place and people-led approach towards urban heritage and place-making. This paper examines this approach through a spatial analysis of historic fortification systems in everyday urban landscapes, and suggests that everyday heritage plays an important role in unfolding a place’s potential, which positively influences place-making within urban design.
